Skills Development Scotland would like to know what parents and carers think about Scotland’s careers services.

Feedback from the parent and carer survey will be shared with partner organisations.

Enter the SDS parent and carer survey on careers services: https://sdscustomerfeedback.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5yzz5v0qpAkhVzv

Scottish Youth Parliament

The Scottish Youth Parliament would like your views to inform their 2021-26 Manifesto ‘From Scotland’s Young People’. As the democratically elected voice of Scotland’s young people, the issues SYP focus and take action on come directly from the concerns raised by 12-25 years olds across the country.

In this survey, young people will be asked for your opinion on a range of statements, covering topics such climate change, when the school day should start and how the Scottish Government should protect your futures in the aftermath of COVID-19. By sharing your views in this consultation, you will directly shape SYPs work over the next five years as well as help them inform Scotland’s political parties on what changes young people would like to see in the next Scottish Parliamentary term.

The survey is open to all young people aged 12-25, who live in Scotland, and will close on 19th September 2020.
This manifesto is SYP’s biggest consultation – make sure your voice is included!

You can find the survey here.

In you have any questions about this survey and the wider manifesto process please email at manifesto@syp.org.uk.

Continuing learning in light of Coronavirus

You will be well aware of the rapidly changing situation across the country due to the coronavirus. As you know schools, in line with everyone else, are following national guidance which in itself is necessarily changing on a daily basis. More information is available from the NHS at www.nhsinform.scot

At the moment all schools and Early Learning and Childcare Centres remain open. However, over the next few days and weeks, it is possible that an increased number of pupils and staff will catch the virus and have to stay at home. This will mean whole families having to stay at home for long periods of time, unable to come to school or go to work.

To help with our planning to continue to offer opportunities for learning we would be grateful if you could answer the following questions via the following link:

1. Do you or your child’s other responsible parent/carer work in one of the following sectors:
a. NHS/Social Care
b. Other emergency service
c. Other critical service, please specify

2. Are you currently, or will you likely be in the coming days, working from home (subject to the agreement of your employer)?

3. Does your household have access to the internet and WiFi?

I know this is a worrying time for everyone and I want to assure you that we are working hard to plan for different situations and continue to provide learning and teaching for our children and young people. We will continue to communicate with you through our usual channels on the arrangements for your child. Please continue to follow the updates provided through the school and Council social media sites.
